Steak out
City Mill
Half-term and Hallowe’en fun runs from
October 26 to November 3 at Winchester
City Mill, which has free activities (normal
admission charge only). Follow the bat-
themed cryptogram trail into the nooks
and crannies of this ancient mill, with
prizes for participants. The Mill’s Jack
o’Lantern workshops will guide youngsters
as they carve super-spooky faces into their
pumpkins (October 29 and 31). Snuggle
up for scary storytelling on November 1
and tuck into tasty Hallowe’en-themed
treats at a special baking demonstration
on November 3. Apple Harvest Weekend
also runs from October 26-27, when experts
from Sparsholt College will identify apples
and provide tips on growing, pruning and
dealing with pests.

On parade
The Lantern Parade returns this year on
November 28, with around 200 coloured
lanterns processing out of Winchester Cathedral
and around the Cathedral Close. This highly
visual event brings together talented youngsters
(and some adults) and has become a firm
fixture in Winchester’s pre-Christmas diary.
